Am I Healing?


Glutenfreefamily

Recommended Posts

I have been glutened twice by accident. Both times I had some obvious symptoms mainly horrible brain fog and feeling stupid for a few hours but not near as bad as before where I had to run to the bathroom for hours on end. I have always read that your symptoms get worse when you are gluten free after a while. My household is gluten free completely and my whole family is gluten free. The only thing if I am getting glutened slightly and not realizing it would be lays potato chips ( regular bag not stax) and Im not as sensitive to it as I should be.

I have not been tested yet but my symptoms are obvious. Im trying to heal and avoid any other foods that might trigger intolerances and I stick to whole foods most of the time, its rare I eat a chip here and there.

Did anyone else's symptoms become less to being glutened after going gluten free? I feel like I should be thankful that during accidental glutening that I am not as bad but Im concerned Im not healing.

My reactions to gluten are still pretty bad, but they are not nearly as bad as before I went gluten-free. So, it can go both ways.

Thank you :) It puts my mind at ease.

Hi! I've actually found that my symptoms are milder in the past year when I get glutened than before, I've been gluten-free for about three years. It's apparently unusual to have milder symptoms after you've been gluten-free for a while, but not unheard of. Also, how long have you been gluten-free? If it's only been a month or two then you won't be sure yet how you'll react a year from now, or five years.

Thanks :) Its been about fifteen months since I went gluten free.

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.

      There's simple dietary changes that can be done to improve Barrett's esophagus.  There are vitamins that improve Barrett's esophagus --- most of the B vitamins! Reducing sugary foods and drinks will help.  A diet high in simple carbohydrates can deplete Thiamine and other B vitamins needed to process them into energy. Eating green leafy vegetables helps.  Green leafy vegetables are high in Folate and Riboflavin.       Dietary sugar and Barrett’s esophagus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5725502/#:~:text=The major finding of the,and sugar consumption [13].     Dietary intake of vegetables, folate, and antioxidants and the risk of Barrett's esophagus https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23420329/    Intakes of dietary folate and other B vitamins are associated with risks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, Barrett's esophagus, and reflux esophagitis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24132576/    Associations between dietary folate intake and risks of esophageal, gastric and pancreatic cancers: an overall and dose-response meta-analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5689728/     Dietary vitamin B intake and the risk of esophageal cancer: a meta-analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6225909/#:~:text=A statistically significant%2C inverse association,an increased risk of EC.    Intake of Dietary One-Carbon Metabolism-Related B Vitamins and the Risk of Esophageal Cancer: A Dose-Response Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6073467/    Dietary riboflavin deficiency induces ariboflavinosis and esophageal epithelial atrophy in association with modification of gut microbiota in rats https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32458157/    Association of Vitamin D and Parathyroid Hormone With Barrett's Esophagus (parathyroid needs Pyridoxine B6) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30180151/   "let food be your medicine, let medicine be your food.

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.

      But for someone with Barrett's like @Charlie1946, long term PPI therapy might be necessary.
